The Bond Between is a Minnesota-based nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the connection between people and animals. Formerly known as Secondhand Hounds, the organization has rescued more than 30,000 dogs and cats since 2009, while also building programs that help families stay united with their pets through community resources and affordable veterinary care.
Their mission is simple yet powerful: to build, support, and reinforce the bond between people and pets.
Check back soon for more information on how to support The Bond Between during the CLC.
The CLC Silent Auction was established in honor of Elizabeth “Liz” Panning, a devoted Regions Hospital laboratorian who spent her career in hematology and coagulation while mentoring generations of MLS students. In the 1980s, Liz helped launch the original silent auction to bring the laboratory community together in support of charitable giving. Following her passing from ALS in 2011, the auction was renamed the Elizabeth Panning Scholarship Fund. Today, proceeds directly support MLS student scholarships, helping strengthen the future of our profession and continuing Liz’s legacy of education, mentorship, and service.
